I’m looking to learn about Cloud Foundry and I’m trying to get a development instance of it set up on my local Windows 10 PC. But I’m not having any luck.
I’m finding a lot of information about PCF Dev which was deprecated a while ago. I also looked at the replacement for PCF Dev, CF Dev (https://github.com/cloudfoundry-attic/cfdev). Its git page mentions that its repository is no longer receiving updates. I still went ahead and tried installing it using the instructions in the README:
cf install-plugin -r CF-Community cfdev
But the link it uses to download the plugin is broken:
Starting download of plugin binary from repository CF-Community...
Get "https://d3p1cc0zb2wjno.cloudfront.net/cfdev/cfdev-v0.0.18-rc.36-windows.exe": dial tcp: lookup d3p1cc0zb2wjno.cloudfront.net: no such host
Can anyone recommend a way to get a development instance of Cloud Foundry set up on my local machine so I can play around with it?
Thanks
Yes, steer clear of pcf-dev and cf-dev, they may still work but are definitely not getting updates so will be way out of date by now.
My understanding, although I haven't tried this process in a while, is that the way to run locally is with VirtualBox. You can run one locally using bosh-deployment & cf-deployment and Virtualbox.
For instructions installing Bosh in VirtualBox using bosh-deployment, see the Install Section to install Bosh.
With Bosh installed, follow the deployment guide to get CF installed. You can skip to step 4, since you're installing into VirtualBox. Be sure to read the entire document before you begin, however pay specific attention to this section which has specific instructions for running locally.

I am trying to establish a LDAP connection (<cfldap>) from within a Docker image of Coldfusion 2021. It would be hard to post any relavent code here simply because it would expose our AD tree, however, the same code I am trying to run works just fine from an installed copy of CF2021 on a linux server.
The reason for using a Docker image (vs. install) in this instance, is an attempt to setup a local development (MACOS) environment. So far, everything seems to be working great with the exception of LDAP calls.
Note: I have successfully run a ldapsearch call from a bash shell within the container.
The error I'm getting:
An error has occurred while trying to execute query :Could not resolve
a valid ldap host
The Docker image repo I pulled from:
https://hub.docker.com/r/adobecoldfusion/coldfusion
Update: I've just noticed CF version differences between the server that isn't having the problems:
Linux Version: 2021,0,01,325996 (installed a few weeks ago non-Docker)
Local MACOS: 2021,0,02,328618 (Docker)
Update 2: We've installed a fresh ColdFusion 2021 Docker image on a Linux box directly connected to our network and we are still seeing this issue. This narrows the issue down to Adobe Cold Fusion 2021's interaction with Docker and it's ability to do <CFLDAP>.
Update 3: 10-13-2021 - It would appear the CF team is aware of this, has confirmed the bug and is looking into it.
Update 4: 11-12-2021 - This bug is related to the version of Java running within the Docker image. "Adobe CF support suggested updating to JAVA SE 11.0.13 (LTS) inside the docker container" which has worked when tested. Expect CF to solve the problem in future Docker CF2021 releases.
I am looking for the exact steps for setting up jfrog artifactory pro on AWS and then accessing it from the browser(Browser access must be only from inside the corporation network). I am following the steps from
https://www.devopsschool.com/blog/artifactory-install-and-configurations-guide/
https://github.com/ravdy/DevOps/blob/master/Artifactory/Setup_Artifactory.md
Do I need to setup a reverse proxy? If so the steps of doing that too would be helpful.
I am very new to AWS and jfrog artifactory and reverse proxy stuff( 1 week experience in all these). So I am not able to find the correct resource to get it done.
The best is to use the official installation steps as provided here: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Installing+Artifactory
If you want to use air gapped environment, suggest downloading once into the network a Linux Archive installation and go ahead with install. If Docker is a possibility, download the images locally and install using docker compose.
I set up my Selenium project (Maven, Java, TestNG) in GitHub repo and it is connected to Jenkins. I am able to execute the Maven project via Jenkins and do the testing. This requires all dependant tools (Maven,Java,Jenkins) set up in my local machine.
But we have a requirement to do this in the cloud. I know we can use Selenium Grid-Docker, BrowserStack or GCP to execute the tests in the cloud but what we need is to have everything installed in the cloud and any external user with access being able to execute any test via UI or executable file without installing anything in user's local machine.
Is this possible at all? If yes,how?
I searched a lot and couldn't find anything. One of my friends said it can be done using AWS but doesn't know how. I just need guidance on the path to take here and I'm willing to learn and implement it myself.
Solved this my deploying code to AWS-EC2.
Here's what I did.
I created a TestNG-Maven project and uploaded to GitHub. Then created a AWS-EC2 t2.micro linux instance and installed Chrome and Jenkins in it. I accessed Jenkins from my local machine and connected it to GitHub repo. From Jenkins when I build the project everything was getting downloaded in EC2 and execution happened in EC2. This will be chrome-headless execution.
I'm currently developing a web application (Django 2.0) application.
My app will be deployed on IBM Cloud (Cloud Foundry) using python build-pack.
One of my requirements is to install blender.
Everything else is very well, but for blender installation.
What I've tried so far was:
I tried access my app using SSH connection, but surely I don't have root access to apt-get install blender!!
And tried to include blender in packages.json file and push that file using cf push my-app.
But nothing worked for me.
In another shorter question: what is the main approach in Cloud Foundry Apps to install packages like when we use apt-get install in Ubuntu / Debian.
Please correct me if I did anything wrong, or guide me with headlines to solve this problem!!
I see a couple options for you to install packages if they cannot be installed using the regular requirements file (which is the preferred way):
Download the relevant libraries and put them in subfolders of the app before pushing it. The libraries will be uploaded. That is how I would do it.
Once you have an SSH connection, use secure copy (scp) to upload the files and place them in the subfolders where they are expected.
Regarding Blender, the question is what you need in addition to having the code copied over. Does it need a running daemon? Are there more dependencies? You would need to share more information about your specific app to answer that. Maybe, packaging everything as one or more containers and run it on Kubernetes or a combination of Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes is a better way.
I want to configure the cloudfoundry environment correctly and test some small application. If any one know, please help me to configure this environment correctly and let me know any use full reference document is available for this, thanks a lot.
I have registered with cloudfoundry and got downloaded following stuffs:
1) micro-1.2.0.zip
2) VMware-Player-4.0.2-591240.x86_64.bundle
3) springsource-tool-suite-2.9.1.RELEASE-e3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
You have everything you need. In short you will need to:
Install Ruby and then VMC or STS plugin for CF
Install VMWare player and run the micro instance within it. Basically you will open the *.vmx file in micro through VMWare player. Your machine has to support and enable virtualization for this
Do necessary configurations and validate your CF with token received online when you created account and domain
open vmc and change target to point to local CF use command "vmc target CFM_ADDRESS"
Deploy and test your application
